Isn’t murdering a depressed person by lethal injection “cruel and unusual punishment?”
Only 1 in 4 terminally ill patients is clincally depressed? That intuitively seems like an underestimate.
Maybe the deathmongers figure that a sodium pentathol overdose is cheaper that Prozac. < /sarc>
I beg to disagree with that statement. I’m an RN and I work in Behavioral Health. All of our patients that are mentally ill have written in their various diagnosis’s they are depressed and are treated with drugs and therapies for depression.
The Psychiatrists recognize their depression, even in Alzheimer’s patients, who often recognize they’re a prisoner of their own minds, even when they are completely end stage they are depressed and are treated for this.

She believes that depression does not necessarily impair judgement and says that in the Netherlands what is most important is that the patient makes an informed decision. She concludes: "we should focus on trying to 'protect' patients from becoming depressed in the first place, rather than focus on protecting patients from assisted suicide."
You know, I think this is an important point. Depression is a miserable disease. One might well be ready to call it quits after decades of fighting it. Who's to say one shouldn't? And we absolutely should be doing more towards prevention of this and other mental illnesses.
